In the Eyes of Our Progeny

Lin, thank you for supporting my Picture Prompt Poetry blog. Your poem is featured in my ‘Results’ blog, which is up and running. How important it is to spend time with our progeny so they can “see us and hear us.” “Earning a place” in their lives is priceless. This is a Fav for me.

Lin, you can only imagine how much I love the last line! We do hope that we set a good example and provide the necessary nurturing and support. We can give that gift and then sit back and watch what happens. I've heard people speak of their relatives with great fondness. It does make me smile (as does your poem)!! Over the past couple of decades, I've thought that working with others can really be a wonderful thing. Yet, many people seem to dread it.

dear linnersz, I always feel deeply a poem written on time and this is no exception, its truly so very evocative and touching and has that soulful touch to it, silently reminiscing and thinking, i really love especially “One, that someday will be only a memory, hopefully one that makes them smile.” True, beautifully memories, sometimes are comforting , to know we had good times worthy of appreciating, your way with words here is so soft and gentle and flowing beautifully!pleasure reading. Sending you light always

Lin mate, this is so touching. There’s such quiet wisdom in your words. ‘If they see us and hear us, it means we've earned a place in their lives’ really struck me, so simple, yet so profound. You captured the bittersweet beauty of time and importance of family so gracefully. All the best with this entry.

It's comforting to know that we will one day be a happy memory for our families, hopefully not too soon. Tom
